Race Information

The Avenue of the Giants Marathon is one of the most beautiful in the world!  It runs through old-growth redwoods and follows a natural creek in the middle of a state park.  Staged on "The Avenue of the Giants" in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, located in rural Northern California. The course is on a paved road that winds gently uphill, but is mostly a flat, fast destination race.  With little to distract you, the tall trees inspire the athlete in you to be strong.  The course is certified, and the marathon is a Boston Qualifying event.
